Proposal Under OMB Delegated 

Authority To Extend for Three Years, 

With Revision, the Following 

Information Collection 

Collection title: Central Bank Survey 

of Foreign Exchange and Derivatives 

Market Activity. 

Collection identifier: FR 3036. 

OMB control number: 7100–0285. 

General description of collection: The 

FR 3036 is a component of the U.S. 

portion of a global data collection that 

is conducted by central banks once 

every three years and captures 

information relating to the volume of 

foreign exchange (FX) transactions. The 

Bank for International Settlements (BIS), 

of which the Board is a member, 

compiles aggregate national data from 

each central bank to produce and 

publish global market statistics. More 

than 50 central banks plan to conduct 

this global data collection (the BIS 

survey) in 2025 (the 2025 Survey). 

Aggregated data from the FR 3036 is 

compiled and forwarded to the BIS, 

which uses the data to produce and 

publish these statistics. 

Proposed revisions: The Board 

proposes to (1) provide clearer guidance 

on what is reportable turnover (explicit 

exclusion of intra-dealer trades), (2) add 

breakdown by currency totals (USD/ 

EUR/JPY) and instrument (Forwards 

and Swaps) for ‘o/w related party trades’ 

in both Foreign Exchange Contracts and 

Interest Rate Derivatives in Tables A1, 

A2, A4, B1 and B2, and (3) add 

breakdown by currency totals (USD/ 

EUR/JPY) for all instruments for ‘o/w 

back-to-back trades’ in both Foreign 

Exchange Contracts and Interest Rate 

Derivatives in Tables A1, A2, A4, A5, 

B1 and B2. Proposed revisions to the FR 

3036 also include a more significant 

addition in the form of a revised 

Settlement of FX Transactions schedule 

(Table A7, Settlement of Foreign 

Exchange Transactions) to collect 

information on FX settlement, including 

a breakdown by counterparty and 

settlement method. The Board proposes 

to revise the instructions to be more in 

alignment with the BIS’s revamped 2025 

Survey FX settlement guidelines. 

Frequency: Triennially. 

Respondents: Commercial banks, 

brokers and dealers, and U.S. offices of 

foreign banking offices with dealing 

operations in the U.S. 

Total estimated number of 

respondents: 21. 

Estimated average hours per response: 

Reporting dealers, 66; reporting dealers 

for FX settlements only, 75. 

Total estimated change in burden: 93. 

Total estimated annual burden hours: 

1,458.
